FYI: Links to videos from my recent assignment as Guest Host of CNBC China Special

Last week I had the opportunity to Guest Host a CNBC Special on China and the global market crisis. I got to work with anchors Wilfred and Sara for the first time and do spots with my longtime friends Steve Liesman, Bob Pisani, Brian Sullivan, and Michele Caruso-Cabrera. I have copied links to 6 hits below FYI, 5 from the show and one from a Squawk Box hit 2 days earlier. Apologies for ganging them up on you like this but I wanted to get them our today. I will post each hit separately along with the briefing notes I send the producers when I get the time a little later today. You can see each link by clicking on the link imbedded in the segment's title,  below.

As you will see, I had 2 themes in mind when I made the spots. 1) This is not a story about China growth slowing and whether or not they will have a hard landing. It is a story about capital flight with both internal and external causes. It is a very important story for the global capital markets. 2) This is not a story about the Chinese government pushing the RMB down to stimulate exports. It is a story about the consequences of China's reluctant opening of its capital markets and how private market investors are driving the RMB lower while the Chinese government tries, unsuccessfully, to stop it from falling. Both of these story lines are at odds with the headlines today.

The only caveat I will give you concerns the word "Expert." I always ask producers and anchors to not refer to me as a China expert. China is a big-ass, complicated place with lots of people working very hard and is changing very fast. Anyone who says they are an expert isn't, including me. Hope you enjoy the spots.
